Description
Heathland as a habitat is fairly rare in Norfolk, so Buxton Heath is a real diamond in the rough. It has lots of paths and trails to walk on, and is a fabulous place to experience the sounds of singing шумска чучулига on a spring day, and if you're lucky, churring козодој at dusk!
In the winter, the bog areas are home to шумска шљука, обична бекасина and small numbers of мала бекасина. You may find жолтогрла стрнарка and планинско ливадарче while wandering the trails. In some winters, Крстоклун, Полска еја and very occasionally големо страче may all be found here!
In spring and summer, listen out for the song of обичен ползач and Обичен (Шумски) лазач in the woodland areas. брезов свиркач and ливадска трепетилка can be heard along the trails, while сокол ластовичар may be seen overhead. This is a fantastic reserve to explore if you're in the area and have some time to spare.
